If you're more interested in getting your artisanal punch bowl on, in the downtown Detroit development known as The Z, a bar and restaurant called Punch Bowl Social is eyeing a lease, real estate sources say.

The Z comprises a new 10-story parking garage and 34,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space.

While Dan Gilbert's Bedrock Real Estate and Punch Bowl declined to comment on any lease deal the Denver-based dining, entertainment, craft beer and cocktails complex may be negotiating, the restaurant's business partners said they are definitely interested in Detroit.

"There's no secret about why we would want to come ... it's a great American story we want to be part of," said CEO Robert Thompson.
